Lizella man shot in confrontation and robbery in store parking lot

An argument led to a robbery and shooting Tuesday night at a store at 3309 Holley Road in Lizella.

Ray Sams, 33, was shot in the leg after being dropped off with a woman in the parking lot of Lulu’s Lizella Supermarket by a female driver he apparently was arguing with, according to a release from the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office.

A black, newer model Ford Taurus pulled into the parking lot about 10:30 p.m., and the male driver got out and began arguing with Sams about something that happened the night before.

The driver, who had a gun, ordered Sams and a man he was talking with to empty their pockets.
